## What is FlyGlyph?

FlyGlyph turns a word, a name or a heart into a flight plan your autopilot can fly, or you can hand fly. On FlightAware and Flightradar24, your GPS track writes it across the sky for everyone to see.

TYPE IT
• Bubble, line or cursive lettering
• Symbols: 24 shapes in one tap, from a heart, star and crown to an airplane, UFO and lightning bolt
• Letters sized for your aircraft: cruise speed, autopilot bank limit and a wind allowance set every turn
• Every plan fits in 100 waypoints, the limit of most modern GA panel GPS navigators
• No turn sharper than your autopilot can fly, and no overlapping turns

KNOW YOUR AIRSPACE
• Checks the predicted track at your planned altitude against FAA Class B, C and D airspace and special-use areas: prohibited, restricted, MOAs, warning and alert areas
• Alerts by name, like "In KORD Class B" or "Near KGTU Class D", with floors, ceilings and what each one requires
• Airspace outlined on the map and listed on every design in My Designs
• Updates live as you move, resize, rotate or change altitude
• FAA data refreshed every 28-day cycle; FlyGlyph asks before downloading it

PLACE IT
• Start over your home airport or at your location
• Jump to where you are, your home airport or any of 12,000+ US airports in one tap
• Drag, pinch and twist on satellite imagery or the FAA VFR sectional
• Height and width in nautical miles, track length and flight time

PREVIEW IT
• Watch a plane fly the whole design at 100× to 1000× before you take off
• An A/P score shows how closely an autopilot will follow the shape

GO BIG
• Line up 2–3 designs in a folder to spell longer messages, each its own flight plan

EXPORT IT
• Garmin .fpl for ForeFlight and other EFBs, plus GPX, KML and CSV
• A pilot-in-command checklist before every export

MAKE IT YOURS
• Undo and redo, backup and restore, track and plane colors and icons
• No account, no ads, no tracking: your designs stay on your device
• iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Mac

PRICING

FLY SAFE
FlyGlyph is a planning and creative tool, not a navigation source. The airspace check covers the United States and does not include TFRs, NOTAMs or whether part-time airspace is active. Check airspace, TFRs, NOTAMs, terrain and fuel with official sources before every flight. The pilot in command is responsible for the safe conduct of the flight.
